Great place to by a car I've even been alike to refer a female friend that got hooked up. Great selection and not far from my house customer service was solid I'm sending another friend to pick up a Kia. Ask for Carlos that's my guy. read more

Let me start by saying I work on cars on the side. I purchased a 2015 Lexus rx350 120k miles from them at the beginning of the year took it out and ran it a bit everything appeared to be sound so I thought!! Bought the car 18k plus didn't even make it home and the low tire pressure light popped on turns out they cleared all the codes before I bought it takes a bit of driving before coming back on!! 350.00 for new tire sensors. After driving for a few days noticed the coolant level was dropping cracked radiator 300.00 and I installed while replacing the radiator I pulled the plastic cover off of the engine and found a rats nest and chewed wires!! I also noticed a slight shudder thank god that was only a transmission service 300.00 I did the work next I was told my center brake light was out so bought a new one didn't fix it turns out the rat found his way inside the spare tire bay and made his way up above into the headliner. Not only did the little bastard eat the center brake light wires but also the satellite antenna and both rear seatbelt straps. Also the brakes were down to almost nothing another 350.00 I installed. I called them up about the seatbelts this is a serious safety issue they told me they will talk to the owner and get back to me still waiting!! I've since bought used seatbelts at 150.00 each and installed them. All cars are not going to be perfect this I understand but these guys are pros at covering up issues and dodging responsibility!! Would I recommend buying from them again tough question no if you want a turn key car. Just be prepared to spend a couple grand servicing it after you get it home.They polish there cars up and from what I found no repairs or maintenance. read more

You probably wonder why the reviews are all mix. That probably answers your question best. Don't come here! Save the headache. I they just quick to get any penny out of you. Dealerships shouldn't be this hard. They kept calling me and bothering me till I gave in the biggest mistake of my life..... read more

When I walked into Emerald City Motorsports and met Carlos, I shared my story and asked, "Do you think you can help me?" Without hesitation, he said, "Let's see what we can do." After submitting my application to three banks, I was turned down, and honestly, I felt defeated. But Carlos didn't give up on me. He asked for some time and assured me he'd do everything possible. With terrible credit and no history to back me up, my chances were slim. I desperately needed a vehicle for my new job, and one week later, I got the text: "Drayton, we did it!" Carlos had secured financing for the car I wanted. When I saw it, I couldn't believe it. The car was so spotless that people thought it was a 2024 model--but it was a 2016! Carlos walked me through all the paperwork, explained everything, and made the process seamless. A week later, I came in with my deposit, and within 45 minutes, I was driving off the lot. What truly amazed me was when the finance company shared that Carlos had personally advocated for me to secure the financing. Who does that? Emerald City Motorsports did that for me. Carlos went above and beyond, and I'll never forget his dedication. If you're looking for a dealership that truly fights for its customers, this is the place to go! read more

Would give negative stars if possible. This place is bad news for people of color and folks without deep pockets. I was chased by a staff member for many blocks in what appeared to be a company vehicle and he purportedly called the police on me without cause, just yesterday. It was a deeply traumatic experience wherein I feared for my life. I was on foot and he drove, and from that car he called me a "n*gger." The staff member in question was pudgy, with a noticeable beer belly, about 5'9", and somewhat tan with a smallish nose. I had asked politely to use the restroom and was given explicit permission from the fella, who was on staff. Then I used their restroom, washed my hands and prepared to leave. The same person who admitted me to use the facilities seemed perplexed as I was making my way out and said "That's it?". I said "Yeah, I can't really afford a motor vehicle." I had not made any promise of purchase when I asked to use the facilities. I had been clearly communicative, and the notion that I was beholden to purchasing a sports car was--and is--absurd. I continued to leave though he rose from his desk and followed me out the door. He asked me the following questions (which I declined to answer): "Who are you?" and "Are you from around here?". I was quite disturbed already since violent crime rates have been rising in Seattle. Knowing my rights, I continued to walk down the street as he yelled "Get over here" at me repeatedly. He then continued to pursue me on foot as I turned the corner, and I was so frightened as to break into a run. He was on his phone. I sought help and acknowledgement from passers-by, who seemed sympathetic, though there were few and their powers were limited. I continued to jog down the street, fearing he might be armed. After many blocks, I found myself nearly at the stadium district and assumed he would have given up the pursuit. He pulled up to me in the aforementioned vehicle, falsely claiming I had stolen though I had only used his restroom with permission from him explicitly given. He said "I got you, n*gger; the cops are on their way." And, as I continued to walk he continually drove in my direction and reparked next to me. I said "Don't pull out a gun," repeatedly affirming that it was not a justifiably escalatable situation, and he responded "Let's go." Fearing death at the hands of a madman, I sprinted to the first bus I could catch and did not return. Do not give these racists your business unless you hate freedom. That guy needs to be fired before he hurts someone and gets the place shut down or himself in jail. read more

So disappointed, gave these guys multiple occasions to make things right. I bought 2014 bmw x550, it came two quarts low on oil (stated it had oil change ) and then 700 miles later 6 coils go out . And top it off the 900 dollar key Fob won't read. Out thousands. I asked them to help with some of these costs since it happened so quickly and they gave me run around. Save your self the headache avoid at all costs!!! read more

Review for my initial interaction only. I did not purchase car as no follow up came. Spoke regarding a car posted on their website, craigslist and autotrader. I was told on the phone that car has couple of cosmetic issue that they are working to fix. I never heard back after couple of calls. Car was posted for sale back in August and they kept reducing price and it is still for sale as of today December. I guess they are still fixing those issues. :) read more

Not gonna lie, when I went there to check out a car without appointment I wasn't sure what experience I was getting into, but man Oscar and Carlos were two good dudes. The place wasn't your typical pressured used car atmosphere, and the price negotiation was as transparent as possible. Mr. Power, you got two great assets working for you, treat them well and they will give you much in return. read more

I would not recommend buying from this dealer. They do not disclose to the buyer the problems that their vehicles have. They sold me a junky vehicle. They sold me a truck and failed to disclose that it had a rear main seal leak. This is thousands of dollars to fix. The mechanic that I got my truck checked out by recommended me driving the truck till it dies before wasting money fixing the rear main seal due to the repair being SO COSTLY. The truck also needed new tie rods and suspension work that came out to 1,000 dollars. PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ISSUE: they sold me a 1 ton pickup truck with SUV tires on it. I didn't discover this until I was getting the suspension work fixed on this truck. Les Schwab said this was a huge safety issue and were surprised that a dealer would sell a vehicle in that state. Extra 600 bucks down the drain to buy new tires for my truck after taking it off the lot. Not only does emerald city not care about selling a quality product, apparently they don't care about the safety of their buyers. DO NOT BUY read more

Need to speak with the manager ASAP about unwinding a deal. I bought a car from here and within 2 hours of driving it's transmission went out on me while I was driving on the freeway. They said they would unwind the deal but I've been calling for weeks now and apparently the owner is never in the shop. Unacceptable read more

Emerald City Motorsports - Car I bought from this dealership the same day it had hidden transmission issues. They are scammers - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My husband and I went to look for a new vehicle to tow our outreach trailer and had the pleasure of working with Oscar. He was wonderful, no pressure at all. Even though we did not end up purchasing a vehicle from them due to another that became available that was closer to our outreach budget I wanted to share about our experience and would highly recommend Oscar. We would connect with him again if we had another need in the future. He is a great guy who cares for the community and understands the needs of his buyers. When we let him know we had found another vehicle he totally understood and was happy for us. So, if you are in this area and looking for a vehicle ask for Oscar Mendez! He'll take care of you. I know many out there can appreciate an honest non-pressure salesman. read more

Worst experience ever. We spent 14k on a car here the thing broke down after 2 days and needed $2500 in repairs. I contacted them thinking they would do the right thing and cover part of the repair costs. They refused. They are a bunch of dishonest crocks. Do not buy from here. They sell you junk and refuse to help when it breaks down less then 48 hours later. read more

DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE!!! I purchased a vehicle here it had about 120k miles on it and within ten days the transmission went out, so I had the car towed back to them and told them I wanted it returned or traded out for another vehicle or fixed and I was told they would check it out within the next few days and I never heard back from them and it sat there for 2 months! No reply's nothing I called a million times no answers I texted the owner 100 times and I got 3 responses in 2 months and 5 days I think it was. And the only thing he ever said was I'll hit you up tomorrow, let me get back to you. When I showed back up to collect the car he said that they checked it all out when I was waiting to get it towed back out I walked into there shop and asked there guys if this car had ever been checked out and they all said it never moved! So don't buy from greedy business's like this!!!! read more

sold me a car that broke down 3 days later and left me on the side of the freeway until 4am. Then, redid the paperwork, changed my purchase date and mileage by a thousand so my warranty would be active. Not only is this fraud, but false advertising as it was listed as recently serviced and no mechanical issues. After the warranty turned out invalid, they made me return my rental (first of two I was in which also broke down while driving) leave me without an answer, forged my signature and towed my vehicle from my house (with no trespassing signs visible) and suddenly Carlos and the manager were never in and would not answer their phones. After driving 45 minutes downtown Seattle 8 times, the manager and owner refused to show their face or call me back. Finally, I got a portion of my down payment back but they withheld the unauthorized tow and made me pay a $200 cleaning fee. Comes to find out, two days later that same 2006 Mercedes 230 is back up for sale, "the nicest one of its kind, great first car, and no mechanical issues" as listed on their site and Facebook ads. Also, the copy of the car fax on the website doesn't list I ever bought the car or put miles on it. Buyers beware - I will be in touch with better business and local news outlets. We will never be doing business again! read more

Great customer service. No pressure. Searched for pathfinder for several weeks. Thay had best deal. They made an offer. I told them I wanted to think about it. Carlos said to let him know, shook my hand, and I left. No high pressure. I called later that day to say I would be back and picked it up next day. Fair deal, courteous service, no pressure. Best car buying experience Ive had. Love the car read more

I purchased three vehicles from Emerald city motorsports. A Volvo for my mom. She loves all the power options and heated seats in the winter. I also chose a Chevy pick up for my business and get me money's worth out of it. It's been a good work horse for two years now. They made sure it was serviced before I bought it. My favorite car is the 750 BMW I bought in 2018. :) Tons of tech gadgets that my sales associate Carlos knew well cause he loves his job and his knowledge of high end autos is amazing. Gunna get an SUV soon and I already have Carlos looking for a VW Touareg V8 for me. I sent my nephew there for his first car and they helped him get a loaded ford focus start car last year. He recently upgraded to an Infinity M35 when his score went up. It's good to finally find a good store to shop at. I'd highly recommend them to my family again. read more

The entire process of purchasing a minivan for our business was easy, transparent, and seamless. Couldn't ask for a better car-buying experience.

Sold me a lot lemon two years back. Had to get transmission hose replaced and found out the previous owner had been to the same auto shop before. Fell behind in my car payments because of how much I had to pay to the car running correctly again read more

These people are such liars. I bought a car broke down the day I got it home. Called them up, very promising they said will make it right. Then you hang up the phone, and that all changes. Promised to help me out. Now they won't even talk to me. Hey children there goes are Christmas money on car repairs. If they had any morals that would bother them. Will let you know if they even try to make this right.... stay tuned read more

Let me start off by saying Brian, the little Caucasian dude, big time fast talker, he will definitely make you feel at home to get you to sign all the paperwork. So I purchased a Audi less than a month ago. After signing papers he said I forgot to tell you the car hasn't been serviced yet "but YOU can call Gloria's garage and they will service it for you free of charge" umm wtf! So I call them the next day, no response. I call back again and the lady who answered the phone had no clue what I was talking about. Finally Brians shady *ss calls me back and says I will give them a ring, they call me back an hour later schedule he an appointment the next day for 9am like I don't have a job to go to. I take the car in because car hasn't had an oil change in lord knows how long. Fast forward 2 days later the check engine light and oil light comes on at the same time. Not sure how the oil light came on being I just had an oil change 2 days ago. I call Brian they say "he is with a customer I will have him call you back" . I hear NOTHING! So I email him because I know he will see my emails as he has to open his computer while "with a customer" I let him know the problems I'm having with the car he says I will get back with you about the problem you are having. 2 weeks later I have yet to hear anything from this dude. I have not been driving the car as I think it is unsafe. I just sent him another email asking Could I trade this bucket in for another car as I don't think this car will last another month. Haven't heard anything back from him. This place is very unprofessional! I would NOT recommend them and stay away from their BMWS. He stated he drove one home and it just doesn't drive right, he also said yeah I wouldn't purchase that one either as it comes with problems. STAY AWAY! They are shady! They sent me to a place that lied about giving me a oil change and this coward won't respond to me. Also I have yet to receive my license plates . STAY AWAY!!!!!!! read more

**AVOID AT ALL COSTS** I put money down to buy a car a couple of weeks ago, and I was prepared to purchase the car tonight. I called to follow up and I found out that the car was sold out from under me. To back up a little bit, I had tried to contact my salesman, earlier this week. I couldn't reach him for 3 days. His explanation was that his phone had been dead. Even this morning, he said to give him a call and that he would email me the purchase order and sale agreement. When I called this evening, he informed me that the car had been sold. All in all, it was a really bad experience, there were many sketchy things that happened and I'm so thankful that I didn't end up buying a car from Emerald City Motorsports. I would never recommend working with this business. read more

Power, Francesco, and Carlos at Emerald City Motorsports exceeded my expectations and provided over the top customer service. Best car buying experience purchasing my first car! No pressure, very patient, listened to what specifically what I was looking for, and great prices too. They even helped me figure out the best option with financing. They are very professional but are still real people that care about you and your wants and needs. I will definitely be referring my family and friends!! read more

Came in looking for a new car and Carlos was very helpful throughout the whole process. I felt like he was actually concerned with me getting the best price possible, and wasn't trying to deceive me in any way. He made the process very easy! read more

Carlos and Francisco were amazing. Great guys. I've purchased 2 cars from them and I will continue to purchase. My daughter will need a car soon so I'll be checking in with the guys at Emerald City Motorsports! read more

I went in and the whole process was simple. The staff was easy and comforting through it all. I purchased a Nissan Altima and its the best car I have to date. read more

I just traded in my 14 year old Honda Civic for a used Honda CRV, and I was very happy with my experience. I saw the CRV advertised online, and called ahead to make sure it was still there. Carlos had the CRV out and ready for me to look at when I arrived a short 15 minutes later. I took it for a test drive and had it inspected at a local repair shop. The CRV passed inspection, and it only took a few minutes to agree on a price and fill out the paperwork. I was impressed by the fast and friendly service and by the convenience. Thanks Carlos! read more

Emerald city motorsports made it a walk in the park to purchase a car. Carlos took the time to show us the vehicle and completely trusted us. There was no Bs up-selling pushy tactics used. On the other hand it was complete honesty and straight to the point information provided. He worked with my budget and ended up getting a brand new, to me, q7 that I LOVE! I have purchased 5 cars in the past and have never experienced superb customer service like Carlos provided! I will definitely purchase another vehicle from this location. Thanks for making car shopping fun and easy. read more

What a great car buying experience! In my 59 years of life, I never had an easier time. Chris, Leo, and Franchesco made it seamless. The entire transaction lasted about 1 hour. Not kidding. Give them a shout. Tons of inventory, wonderful prices, exceptional service. What more can I add! read more

Great group of guys over at Emerald City Motorsports! I was nervous shopping for a used car but these guys were all so patient and helpful and made the process a breeze. I really appreciated how honest and upfront Chris and Leo were. They were super easy to work with and made sure I walked away happy and confident with my new purchase. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I had a great experience at Emerald city Motorsports. Walked in and drove out in a new car the same day. I worked with Carlos and he was great, he gave me excellent customer service and we will be returning customers in the future! read more

Had an awesome experience working with Power. Had a very nice selection of vehicles to choose from and worked with my budget so that way I could get a new family vehicle. The nice thing about working with Power was that he was not pushy at all and made my buying experience one that I will repeat again with him. I highly recommend if you are looking for a good vehicle with a friendly salesman that not only wants your business once but wants you to come back again he is definitely the guy to deal with. read more

This was a great buying experience Carlos was very friendly and didn't pressure us on anything love my car !

These guys were great. Not pushy at all. I had already been to 50 other dealerships over the last month and was either not pleased with the cars or not pleased with the sales approaches. These guys, Carlos and Leo were honest about there cars and didn't give me a hard time at all and I openly am not easy to work with. Thanks guys for making my sons first car purchase easy and fun. I will for sure check them out first next time I need a car. read more

We bought a vehicle and after we bought it, it started having problems. We took it to a mechanic and even got a 2nd opinion from another source and the report said the transmission had major problems and needs replaced. EMC didn't disclose this problem nor gave a car fax even though we asked for one. Carlos quickly closed the deal and we trusted him that everything was fine taking fair wear and tear and no major issues. Now that we brought this issue up, they said they will take a trade in value of $3000 but we have to purchase another car from their inventory. We did this and this time we paid for a professional mechanic for a full evaluation. Except for a few minor issues, we decided to take the another vehicle. Carlos shook our hands and proceeded with the paper work in the back office and after a long while he came back and said his boss said No Deal.. We could not have this particular vehicle. We have to pick another. This was another disappointment. After agreeing to let us do a trade in and stipulating that we have to pick any vehicle from their lot, EMC now says No after we agree to the sticker price that is on the vehicle. He even shook our hands and congratulated us. This brings me to another dishonest and distrustful situation. Don't trust EMC Seattle.. They have no integrity. If this car was not for sale, why put it for sale in advertisement and as well as on the car in the lot.. We offered the price on the car.. This is false advertisement as well or even discrimination. How would one feel if you went into a shop and picked a watch that is for sale and after trying it on and testing if it works etc and told that you can't buy this watch but you can pick another! read more

If you are in the market to buy a car, I highly recommend Emerald City Motorsports. Let me tell you why - I had gotten into a car accident, my last vehicle was totaled, and I was stressed out beyond belief. I needed a car and was about to start a new job. When I stepped into the doors at Emerald City Motorsports, the energy was perfect. I was not bombarded with stiff and impersonal salesmanship. I was asked all of the right questions and then led on my journey of picking out my new car. There were car options all across the board, sure to satisfy any customer. I felt safe and confident in the decisions that I was making (which is more than I could have ever asked for as a first time car buyer). The environment screams family - like you're being taken care of, if you will. In addition, you can tell that the employees are well taken care of, which is key to running any establishment. The entire process of my car buying experience was quick, and the customer service was exceptional. I will absolutely pay these guys a visit the next time i'm in need of a car. I recommend Power and Carlos to all of my loved ones on the pursuit of obtaining a new vehicle. You will be happy that you chose Emerald City Motorsports! I promise. read more

Do not rely on anything based on their word... get it in writing no matter how small! They even withheld mailing us our license plates saying we owed $14 when we called to ask why we hadn't received them in the mail over a month later. Our bill of sale showed paid in full. read more
